ABSTRACT
Most people equate finding vacancies with seeing jobs advertised in newspapers. If, however, you conduct a survey of how you and your friends have found jobs in the past, you will probably come up with quite a range of methods. What may surprise you is how many vacancies were not publicly advertised. Indeed, recruitment consultants have estimated that up to 60 per cent of vacancies are not advertised, and this proportion increases for older applicants.
